6 Ways to Live Your Best Disney Cast Life at D23 Expo

Originally published at Disney Parks News

If you’re anything like me, you can’t wait for the news to come from this month’s D23 Expo, presented by Visa. The fan-favorite event returns this year, and it’s also my very first time attending!

As I’m making my wish list of can’t-miss panels and must-have merchandise, I’m also noting special offerings for cast, crew, Imagineers and employees throughout the weekend. And knowing we have many cast making their way to Anaheim for the event, it’s only fair to share that list! Here’s how to make sure you catch every #DisneyCastLife moment at D23 Expo:

1. Visit the Life at Disney booth

New this year, The Walt Disney Company presents a booth all about those who work here and create the unbelievable stories, characters, experiences and happiness everyone in attendance knows and loves. Whether you’re a current cast member or employee, a former part of the company (or maybe hoping to join in the future!), Booth 621 is the place to visit to learn more about the complete experience of being part of The Walt Disney Company. You’ll get to enjoy everything from fun photo opportunities, visits with our Business Employee Resource Groups (BERGs) and Disney Aspire representatives, to highlights of favorite cast spotlights… and even a few surprises! We hope to see you there!

2. Don’t Miss Panels and Presentations with Josh D’Amaro
and the Disney Ambassadors

While the entire weekend is full of incredible panels and presentations with announcements and exclusive looks, these two are at the top of my list. On Sunday morning, join Disney Parks, Experiences & Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro for a look at what’s next for the segment. “A Boundless Future: Disney Parks, Experiences & Products” will include announcements and updates of magic happening all around the world. Later that same day, the current Disney Ambassador global team hosts “The Disney Parks Through the Decades: A Disney Ambassador Perspective.”  The panel welcomes Disney Ambassador alumni, who were there when the program began and span the decades since, to share their stories.

3. Save the Date for the #DisneyCastLife Meetup  

If you’re attending D23 Expo in person, please save the date and join us for the #DisneyCastLife Meetup on Saturday, Sept. 10, at noon Join our Disney Ambassadors and cast from around the world for this very special meetup.
